ESPN put out a list of controversial outcomes from judges from fights.
Of them, these two stand-out to me...
1. Sugar Ray Leonard D12 Thomas Hearns
2. Julio Cesar Chavez D12 Pernell Whitaker

the whitaker decision was the absolute worst robbery I ever saw, whitaker gave chavez a clinic that fight.
The delahoya- trinidad fight I don't view as a horrible decision, that loss is all on Oscar. He had the fight bagged and then coasted for the last third of the fight and basically handed it on a platter to Trinidad.

delahoya got robbed! if you win 8 rounds of a fight and dnce for 4 rounds, then you won 2/3 of the fight and that is a majority. i dont care if he read a book for the last 4 rounds. he won the majority of the rounds and therefore deserved the win.
as for the whittaker-chavez fight, plain old robbery. a fucking disgrace.

I had delahoya winning by just a single round as I scored it, so if any of the judges felt in the first 7 or 8 rounds that this was gonna be a clinic and gave a close round to trinidad, that naturally is what swayed the fight. One judge had it a draw and the other two had trinidad winning by 1 round. The fight was close because trinidad won the 1st round, then oscar in my book won the next 7 but then gave up the last 4. He lost that fight by giving up in the final rounds.

even by your scoring it was 7 rounds delahoya, 5 rounds trinidad. delahoya got robbed,

yeah did you miss the part where I said that I had delahoya winning, the point is that the fight should have been close at all, he let it become close. It was a 12 round fight, not a 8 round fight. You wanna fight 8 rounds then stay in the amatuers.
